There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.

Mild contour flattening of the ventral aspect of the thecal sac suggests a slight alteration in the shape of the protective membrane surrounding the spinal cord, often due to nearby structural changes like disc bulging or bone spurs. This condition can lead to mild encroachment of the neural foramen, which may affect the nerve roots exiting the spinal column. While often asymptomatic, it can sometimes contribute to localized pain or neurological symptoms depending on the degree of compression. Monitoring and conservative management are typically recommended unless significant symptoms arise.
This is likely describing a mild bulging of the discs at the c4-c5 and c5-c6 levels in the cervical spine, which is pushing slightly backward into the space occupied by the thecal sac, a membrane that surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots. This bulging may be causing indentation or slight compression on the thecal sac, but the extent of nerve compression would need to be assessed clinically for further evaluation.

What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?

I do know that this can cause a great deal of pain in the shoulder and arm, compression means that it is on the spinal cord. I think I would consider surgery.

Disc Bulge at c5 c6 causing indentation over thecal sac and mild left nueral compromise is it dangerous situation
Mild mass effect upon the ventral cord refers to a slight displacement or compression of the ventral (front) portion of the spinal cord, typically caused by a mass such as a tumor, herniated disc, or other lesions. This condition can potentially lead to neurological symptoms depending on the severity and location of the mass effect. It is important to monitor and evaluate the underlying cause to determine appropriate treatment options.
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
